This story seemed good in concept, but the execution seemed really juvenile. Her portrayal of Freya and her sexual yearnings were very stunted; aspiring for spice but she kept using tired phrases and overuse of others.

This was a solid second entry in Buther's Cinder Spires series that we've waited so long for. Given the way it ended, I'm hopeful he plans on continuing the story for at least another book or two to wrap things up. I could see this being a smaller series like Codex Alera but nothing so robust as the The Dresden Files.
I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and how they've changed and grown over the course of the book. The death of Master Ferus and making Folly basically his heir was sweet and heart breaking all at the same time. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with the next book, how he navigates the alliances that are created, the enemies that are forged, and the paths moving forward.

This was so well written and evocative. I love all the old Mexican and Mayan imagery. Even though this is somewhat of a Cinderella retelling it gives more than that. Casiopeia is conflicted and young which definitely colors her viewpoint but she's also a bit matured for her age due to circumstances.

I love getting more backstory of Lord John. And this one gives us even more with him and Percy - which really elucidates what happens in Go Tell the Bees I Am Gone. I had kind of gotten a hint of what had happened between them from the other books but I'm glad I read this one to flesh it out some more.
